Congress Narrowly Approves $70 Billion to Accelerate Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda

Congress has approved $70 billion in funding for the Department of Homeland Security to advance the Trump administration's mass deportation policies over the next three years. The razor-thin vote exposed stark partisan divisions, with Democrats uniformly opposed and even one Republican senator dissenting, underscoring the deeply contentious nature of immigration enforcement priorities. This funding comes amid declining public confidence in ICE, with only 33% of voters approving of the agency's performance, highlighting a significant disconnect between policymakers and public sentiment.
